Dunsborough and Yallingup

Consider this end if your planned beaches and outings are concentrated farther north.

Getting around

Plan for a car and group outings by area. A property described as being in the region may still be a substantial drive from the beach or cave you want to visit.

Best time to go

In cooler months, choose indoor living space and heating carefully. For summer, look for shaded outdoor space and check activity bookings ahead.

Worth knowing

The region is too spread out to judge convenience from the words Margaret River alone.

Why families choose Margaret River

A farm cottage, apartment and resort offer different ways to fill the hours between outings. With younger children, secure outdoor space and a simple dinner setup can matter more than being near several cellar doors.

Rooms and sleeping arrangements

For cottages, confirm bedroom access, heating and whether the children would sleep in a loft. Ask about gates around verandahs and steps if a toddler will be exploring the living area.

Pools, play and children's activities

Compare play areas and pool arrangements with the time you expect to spend on site. Animal encounters at a farm stay may be scheduled, so ask what is available during your dates.

Meals, kitchens and laundry

A full kitchen is useful when staying beyond town. Check the grocery drive, barbecue arrangements and whether laundry is private or shared.

Questions before you book

Is a rural cottage practical with children in Margaret River?

Yes, if you are happy to drive for outings and food. Check kitchen equipment, bedroom layout and outdoor boundaries so the extra space is useful for your children's ages.
